The Cadence Academic Network helps build strong relationships between academia and industry, and promotes the proliferation of leading-edge technologies and methodologies at universities renowned for their engineering and design excellence.

A huge knowledge exchange platform for academia to network with industry. We are looking for academic speakers to talk about their research to the industry attendees at the Academic Track at CDNLive EMEA and Silicon Valley.

Technology Leadership with the Cadence Verification Suite

Over the past decade, verification complexity and demands on engineering teams have continued to rise rapidly. Applying innovative solution flows, automation tools, and best-in-class verification engines is necessary to overcome the resulting verification gap.

Delivering Shortest Turnaround Time and Predictable Quality

As electronic products across all market segments become more sophisticated, developing their underlying hardware and software—and integrating the two sides—continues to grow more complex. Early software development, hardware verification, hardware/software integration, and integrated system validation have become primary challenges, increasing development costs, project schedules, and risks.

Using the Cadence Verification Suite, you can reduce system integration time by up to 50%, accelerating IP development, system-on-chip (SoC) integration, and concurrent hardware/software development. The verification suite is comprised of core engines, verification fabric technologies, and solutions spanning these technologies, as shown in Figure 1.

Cadence Verification Suite

Core engines, each developed to provide best-in-class technology, include:

The verification fabric provides automation, debug, tracking, management, and measurement of verification tasks across verification flows and engines, which improves productivity and increases team collaboration and productivity.

Solutions in the Verification Suite are predefined flows and best practices to address common challenges, including total throughput for the shortest project schedule, metric-driven signoff for quality, and application-specific challenges for mobile, networking and servers, automotive, consumer and internet of things (IoT), aerospace and defense, and other vertical segments.

Our Verification Suite engines, fabric technologies, and solutions support a broad range of industry standards, are open for third-party integration, and are further augmented by our ecosystem partners, including Arm and many others.

The ability to use the same bring-up flow for Palladium emulation and Protium rapid prototyping allows our design teams to switch seamlessly between the two execution engines, which reduces the prototype bring-up time from months to weeks.

The Incisive vManager solution has been very well accepted by our design and verification teams because it’s really straightforward, intuitive, and easy to use. The Incisive vManager solution helps us with project visibility, which improves our verification productivity.
